Step 3: Completion

Certificates

You can choose whether to assign a certificate for completion of this item.

If you select this checkbox, a certificate will be automatically assigned to each learner that completes this item.

Completion and Notifications

Choose how your learners should complete this item.

Manually mark as complete: This means that the learner will have to press the green tickbox in the corner of the item for the item to be marked as complete.

Automatically complete when clicking to view web page: For this example, we've chosen the item to be a weblink. So in this case, when the learner clicks the launch button into the webpage, it'll be marked as complete.

Choose who should get notified of completion. Please note that they will receive an in-app notification and also an email.

Step 4: Visibility & Permissions

Visibility

Choose the visibility of your item.

For full information about visibility on items, please read our extended article here.

Display added by

You have the option to display who the item was added by - and this will show up on the item itself (please see example below) below the title.

This is how it will appear once live:

Set live & expiry

These are optional toggles that you can add to the item.

If you select a go live date, this item will only become visible in the library on this date.

If you select an expiry date, this item will move back to 'hidden' visibility on this date.

If you select a review date, the selected persons will receive an in-app notification asking them to review the content.
